About URL Encode/Decode

URL encoding (percent encoding) replaces special characters with %XX hex codes so they can be safely used in URLs and query parameters. This tool encodes text using encodeURIComponent and decodes percent-encoded strings. Handles spaces, ampersands, equals signs, Unicode characters, and all other special characters. Everything runs in your browser.
